6:19 am

rubyfoo

6:20 am

MollyL

Maybe I'm being dumb here, but wouldn't it help if you washed their paws off when they came inside?

6:20 am

rubyfoo

OMG, I think the sun just came out

6:20 am

smores

woohoo ruby :)

6:21 am

rubyfoo

Molly, they are in and out all day because that's the o nly way I can be sure that Raffie won't "go" in the house

6:21 am

rubyfoo

I would have to spend my whole day by the door

6:21 am

smores

hope it stays long enough to dry things out a bit

6:21 am

rubyfoo

but I think that all the rain will make the spring flowers glorious this year

6:22 am

rubyfoo

husband doesn't wipe his feet, either....

6:22 am

zoozzoom

Ruby, cold but beautiful sunshine here..not had that for ages..hope it comes your way soon.

6:43 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Rbud..you too :-)

6:49 am

MollyL

*Hands Rbud a chocolate bunny*

6:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

lots of questionable words here

6:50 am

rbud

oooh, yummy!! ty! was just bemoaning to myself that I have no chocolate for myself today - waiting for the after Easter sales, haha!!

6:52 am

rbud

still working my way through to nbt - anyone have a hint for the lone E in the 4th column?

6:52 am

MollyL

Every kid (and grown up kid) should have a chocolate bunny for Easter. I don't care what those Save The Bunny commercials say. : P

6:53 am

MollyL

Plural of the letter before T.

6:54 am

rbud

well, how about that. would never have tried it without 3 S's! ty.

6:56 am

rbud

This my be the first year I don't have at least a bit of Easter stuff for our kids - but then they're 21 and 25. Our son's not much on sweets, and our daughter sure doesn't need any, she gets them daily herself! :\

6:57 am

rbud

I, on the other hand, love chocolate and deserve plenty! :D

6:58 am

Anniebrook

*rains down chocolate Easter bunnies on rbud*

7:01 am

rbud

ty, ty!! :D

7:01 am

Anniebrook

my pleasure

7:03 am

MollyL

My kids get Easter treats no matter what age they are. When they show up for Easter, that is.

7:06 am

rbud

well, both of ours live here, kind of tired of them. oops! did I say that out loud, lol!!??

7:07 am

rbud

for example, our son has been sneakily moving a buddy in over the last couple of days, thinking we'd either not notice or not mind. wrong.

7:08 am

MollyL

Oh no, two adult kids living at home is enough.

7:08 am

rbud

tired of being the home for wayward homeless folks, which we are famous for being here.

7:08 am

Anniebrook

rbud, can you tell your son that you will not allow his friend to move in?

7:09 am

MollyL

Or that he's welcome, as long as he pays rent.

7:09 am

rbud

Did so. "but he's got nowhere to go, it'll just be a few days..." - plus the buddy has a HUGE TV, very attractive to our son, lol

7:10 am

MollyL

Hmm, he has a huge TV, but nowhere to go. I sense a lack of correct priorities.

7:10 am

rbud

Yes, I agree. I believe he's here because he could no longer pay rent out at the motel where he was living, so not much hope of that.

7:10 am

Anniebrook

if the TV stays the buddy stays.

7:11 am

Anniebrook

Does the buddy have a job?

7:11 am

rbud

don't think so, though he has been known to hold down a job for over a year recently, unlike our son. :P

7:12 am

MollyL

Buddy 1 and Buddy 2 need to get jobs and an apartment to share.

7:12 am

rbud

We have Hubby's old shop outside in the yard, that's where the sneaky moving in was going on, not in our house, at least, whew.

7:13 am

rbud

our son commandeered that space long ago, and with spring finally coming, it's looking habitable again.

7:13 am

Anniebrook

rbud, No one should be sneaking onto your property. I hope you dont mind me being forward.

7:13 am

Anniebrook

without your permission, that is.

7:14 am

MollyL

Well, if he had permission, it wouldn't be sneaking.
: D

7:14 am

Anniebrook

yes, quite true, Molly

7:14 am

rbud

Oh, I totally agree, but just try to tell son that, he's a bullheaded PITA.

7:15 am

rbud

I don't much care for the buddy, he's kind of a local moocher. Has been thrown out of various living arrangements for years.

7:16 am

Anniebrook

rbud, then I would not allow him to live in my house or shop, it's looking for a problem

7:17 am

MollyL

There are a lot of young people today who seem to have absolutely no motivation to be self supporting. It's sad.

7:17 am

rbud

the really sad part is that the old shop was supposed to be mine, sigh - to set up my woodworking and refinishing stuff. But son "failed to launch" when given a car and marching orders. Still trying to figure out how to get him out of the nest.

7:18 am

rbud

thing is, Hubby needs all the help he can get, and son is good with that.

7:18 am

MollyL

Oh hell no Rbud. He gets a room in the house if you can't get him launched, but you should not have to give up "your space".

7:19 am

rbud

and at least the buddy is polite and not a thief, like several of son's other buddies (now in jail, thank goodness)

7:19 am

gramma

rbud, When are 5 were growing up, we always looked at their friends for input. If their friends were doing drugs, odds are they were too. If their friends were into sports, again...You get the idea. Tough love. Do it now or you won't want him around in your life later.

7:19 am

gramma

Sounds like drugs

7:20 am

rbud

I hear you, gramma, and believe me, it's a problem we go around about constantly.

7:20 am

gramma

I know it's hard but you have to let him help himself

7:21 am

rbud

at the moment, we're just glad the nightly noise goes on out there and not in the house, which is why we let him commandeer the building in the first place, otherwise his friends were up and down the stairs half the night.

7:22 am

Anniebrook

rbud, you shouldn't have to put up with this. How old is your son?

7:23 am

gramma

Here's a link for you. Please watch the video "Why we wait" http://www.interventionservicesinc.com\n/

7:23 am

rbud

band practice, loud music, etc. Son has a nice hardworking girlfriend now, she has plans to get him out of here, I like her, lol

7:23 am

gramma

He needs plans. He shouldn't just follow her.

7:24 am

rbud

he's 21, finally can stop worrying about his underage sneaky drinking, and it's nearly stopped now since it's no longer a challenge, haha!

7:24 am

gramma

bbl

7:26 am

rbud

I just get tired of being the only one expected to deal with stuff to do with the kids, Hubby has distanced himself from most discipline years ago, after child services showed up to inform him he couldn't spank our son unless he wanted to be charged with domestic abuse. Thus began the trouble, a long sad story.

2:53 pm

I like to cook one day so we at least get a lunch out of the evening meal.

2:53 pm

Soodle

I'm such an Irish Mammy. No meat on Good Friday. I rustled up a very tasty prawn, salmon, tagliatelle & pernod concoction the other day. I made it up as I went along, and I'm annoyed now that I didn't write it down.

2:53 pm

stidgmere

Oh, well yu will be a bigger guy with double shrimp cocktails.

2:54 pm

stidgmere

You will again be inspired Soodle. Just the right ingredients will come together and voila.

2:55 pm

2:55 pm

lilliann

2:57 pm

stidgmere

Like Julia Child thought, once you know the basics, the changes are where each person shows her genius.

2:57 pm

Soodle

Babblers howl laughing when they hear about Soodle special dinners. Invariably, there are 3 or 4 types of potatoes.

2:58 pm

lilliann

bbiab.i need to google the hotel they are staying at and see if i can get a phone number

2:58 pm

stidgmere

And what is wrong with many types of potatoes? We enjoy using potato flour for cakes because stidmama can eat those gluten-free types.

2:58 pm

Soodle

Falling into sterotype.......

3:00 pm

4:01 pm

lilliann

4:04 pm

Soodle

I think, not unlike Downton Abbey, if you have a series on demand, you get instant gratification. (At least I do) !!!

4:04 pm

bichon

Black Swan was scary. I love watching ballet

4:04 pm

MollyL

I won't be watcing The Black Swan. From what I've heard, that is one twisted movie.

4:04 pm

MLFAN17

bichon it was so creepy i didnt watch the whole thing only parts of it

4:05 pm

lilliann

mlf, use the sometimes vowel

4:05 pm

4:05 pm

My daughter asked me the other day what my fave film was. No question. Its gotta be Mary Poppins. Notwithstanding Dick Van Dyke's appalling attempt at an english accent. The cartoon scene is magical

4:17 pm

4:27 pm

nrkii

4:28 pm

rururocks

<---not allowed to talk about princesses

4:28 pm

nrkii

for anyone who loves the movie, and has not read the book, I strongly recommend the book

4:28 pm

lilliann

me too welki.they've moved the camera so we can't see so much of the enclosure, si i think they are being born or helped in the cornewrs and then put in the middle pen after

4:28 pm

Soodle

Ah yes. A delightful , feelgood movie.

4:28 pm

the movie is the plot of the book, but there is more to the book that is highly entertaining

4:29 pm

4:32 pm

jmcnrick

i am confused. . .what is boring? the princess bride or the lamb cam?

4:32 pm

nrkii

jmc, written by William Goldman, who did many screenplays (Butch Cassidy, Misery, etc). Some were his original work, some were adapted. He writes for movies well.

4:32 pm

nrkii

ohhhh, I assumed ru meant The Princess Bride looked boring

4:32 pm

rururocks

princess bride looked really boring to me

4:33 pm

jmcnrick

oh welki you would love the princess bride. . . i used to show it to my 20 something guys (including former marines) and they were always doubtful but always ended up enjoying it

4:33 pm

Soodle

Yes yes yes. But WHY is Ruru banned from talking about princesses?

4:33 pm

rururocks

And Soodle. I got spanked by Mab and TO for talking about princesses.. so I don't talk about them any longer ;D

bichon

He's a reference librarian and he has to work one Sunday a month

5:57 pm

bichon

He gets to take another day off. It is a professional thing, no overtime pay

5:57 pm

smores

Ah...and it just happened to be Easter eh?

5:57 pm

dcseain

5:58 pm

bichon

We don't celebrate Easter, so it's just another Sunday

We need to come up with a name for that. You know it's not a word, but you try it anyway.

6:52 pm

Jillyjill

I agree....will think on that for awhile..

6:53 pm

MollyL

My first thought is attemptation.

6:54 pm

MollyL

But that is just the desire to try a word that you know is not accepted.

6:56 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...or fu-tile...

6:58 pm

MollyL

There is actually a real word that fits...wastry

7:00 pm

Jillyjill

Good one Molly....and, did you have a nice Easter btw?

7:08 pm

Jillyjill

<---nbt/nbs

7:10 pm

uusue2

hi all!

7:10 pm

Jillyjill

Hello uusue...Happy Easter to you and Frank!

7:10 pm

uusue2

thanks, Jill! Same to you!!

7:10 pm

wvteach

good evening all - hello sue and jilly

7:10 pm

uusue2

hi wv!

7:11 pm

Jillyjill

Hi Teach and Happy Easter to you!

7:11 pm

uusue2

BTW, it's my dad's 92nd birthday today; I called him and wished him a happy birthday - he is doing fine!

7:11 pm

wvteach

happy birthday - sues dad

7:53 pm

Nef

Hello Everyone. Happy Easter to all. :-)

7:54 pm

Nef

Glad to hear he's doing well, Sue. Happy Birthday to him too!

7:55 pm

Nef

Oh. I see there's been a silence in the chog for a while....

8:00 pm

rururocks

we're taking a moment of silence

8:01 pm

Nef

Well, ruru; I've never known to be silent for too long....

8:02 pm

Nef

but I *am* the quiet one in my family; so I can be quiet for a minute or 2

8:03 pm

rururocks

we need to think about all those eggs, chocolate eggs, peeps, and hams that were consumed savagely today

8:04 pm

Nef

we didn't have any of that other than deviled eggs (which are a family tradition for every holiday or family gathering)

8:04 pm

Nef

we had roasted leg of lamb instead.

8:05 pm

rururocks

*alternate silence for lambs*

8:06 pm

Nef

So what did you have? All of the above?

8:06 pm

Nef

err belos I mean?

8:06 pm

Nef

below

8:07 pm

rururocks

none of the below.. I'm having pork chops :D

8:08 pm

MollyL

<---Loves deviled eggs : D

8:08 pm

Nef

that sounds good. Our D-I-L doesn't eat pork; now (today, after it's served) she tells us she doesn't eat lamb either. My son told her that she'd had it before here; her response was that she "thought it was beef" in the past..

8:10 pm

Nef

DH's Aunt used to make them for all the holidays; and that grew to the point that we had them for birthdays, holidays, and any Sunday dinner (or any day of the week) that we ate together

8:10 pm

MollyL

I'm sorry but that is rude. If you are going to be a guest in someone's house for dinner, you should tell them of any dietary restrictions.

8:13 pm

rururocks

sometimes the hosts don't remember and do what they want any way

8:14 pm

Nef

her diet seems to change every month or so, Molly. In the past year she's been vegetarian, vegan, glutin free, and now on a "Paleo diet (meats, fruits and veggies, with little or no carbs/grains/pastas); so I thought I'd chosen a "friendly " diet menu for everyone

8:15 pm

MollyL

Well in that case Nef, you should just serve what you want and give her a big ole plate of kale. : D

8:15 pm

Nef

I'm pretty sure she has some sort of eating disorder, but it isn't anorexia or bulemia. I don't think that most people can focus so much on foods and change their diets so radically

8:15 pm

rururocks

lol.. she kind of sounds like a nutcase nef

8:16 pm

MollyL

Some people are obsessed with food and dieting. She sounds like one of them.

8:16 pm

Nef

she is, ruru; she's bipolar + several other problems and was sexually abused as a child also

That's why we have our grandson so much: I try to give his a more "normal" environment

8:22 pm

rururocks

good call.. my grandmother did the same for me

8:22 pm

MollyL

I have a friend who used to be obsessed with food. Talked constantly about what she ate, what she didn't eat. Weighed herself every day. Lost sleep over gaining a few pounds. It took a lot of therapy to get her over that. Thankfully, she eats like a normal person now.

8:23 pm

Nef

and did you turn out okay, ruru? Or maybe I shouldn't judge you by your personna here.... ;-)

8:23 pm

rururocks

...don't get me started nef :D

8:23 pm

Nef

LOL!

8:25 pm

Nef

Molly, I do know that there is help for eating disorders. I had a young cousin who, when I was in Nursing School, lost so much weight that she was down to about 69 lbs in 10th grade. She's healthy now and normal sized.

8:26 pm

rururocks

I think my mom was Bulimic

8:26 pm

Nef

Did your Mom or your Dad have mental problems, ruru?

8:26 pm

rururocks

oh.. sure.. both..

8:27 pm

MollyL

A lot of obsessive behavior, compulsive behavior and addiction problems have a root cause of low self worth. And many people don't get the correct treatment for that, mental health wise.

8:27 pm

rururocks

my mom was completely nuts

8:27 pm

rururocks

is nuts.. she's still alive .. at least as far as I know

8:28 pm

Nef

okay. You don't have to talk about it ru; I was just curious which one it was

I've done okay in life.. it could have been better I suppose.. i'm sure a lot of my weird sick humor comes from growing up like that :D

8:31 pm

Nef

and really; it's a good thing kids are resilient too. We'd be in tough shape as a society if that wasn't true

8:31 pm

rururocks

(blame the parents for sick humor...)

8:32 pm

Nef

LOL!

8:32 pm

MollyL

Caroline Myss has an interesting theory she calls "woundology". Her belief is that some people choose to move beyond their wounds and others choose to carry them around for life.

8:32 pm

rururocks

oh.. I've heard about that Molly.. I bet that is true.
I have some wounds that won't heal.. I'm thinking of seeing someone soon

8:33 pm

Nef

Do they actually move beyond their wounds; or do they learn how to cope with it better than others?

8:33 pm

MollyL

They may not have healed yet, but they will. And the fact that you are thinking about seeing someone is a good sign.

8:35 pm

Nef

I think some of my wounds have made me a stronger and kinder person though; not sure they've healed...

8:35 pm

rururocks

you are a kind and thoughtful person nef.. amazingly so

8:35 pm

rururocks

you're a caretaker type

8:35 pm

MollyL

I heard a lecture once that compared emotional wounds to physical wounds. The guy giving the lecture told a story about a man who went to the doctor with a wound that would not heal. The doctor's first question was "How much do you pick at the scab?"

8:36 pm

Nef

maybe because I learned to do that, ru; because of some stuff in my past?

8:36 pm

rururocks

could be.. could be your nature too

8:36 pm

Nef

LOL! Good question!

8:37 pm

rururocks

what was the second question?

8:38 pm

MollyL

Um...the second question wasn't exactly the point of the story.

8:41 pm

rururocks

damn.. thought it was going to get better. :D

8:42 pm

Nef

My Aunt (the one who raised me) could say the meanest things to me. My hometown is a 6 1/2 hour drive from the Cities and there were many times that I cried the whole drive back here. That's just how she was to me. Another Aunt gave me the book "Irregular People" (listed in my profile) and that helped me deal with the other one and come to terms with her.

8:43 pm

Nef

And yet I was the one called home to care for her when she was dying....

8:44 pm

rururocks

wow

8:44 pm

rururocks

did she ever say why she was so mean to you?

8:45 pm

MollyL

I think some people just have a mean nature.

8:45 pm

Nef

She didn't like me. (And I was also her god child). I was too slow; too quiet; too -whatever.

8:46 pm

rururocks

ah.. I see.. I always wanted to ask my mom why she had kids when it is obvious to me that she hates them

8:46 pm

Nef

she liked my siblings more than me. I think it was just a personality thing; I don't know

8:46 pm

MollyL

Nef, my Irish grandmother would say you have earned your place in Heaven five times over. : )

8:46 pm

Nef

how many did she have, ru?

8:47 pm

rururocks

two

8:47 pm

rururocks

She had kids ...because that's what people did in the 50's...

8:47 pm

MollyL

I don't think women of our parents generation thought of having kids as a choice. It was expected of them.

8:47 pm

rururocks

yeah.. that's what i just said too molly

8:47 pm

Nef

and my Irish Grandma used to say you'd be building your castle in Heaven too

8:48 pm

Nef

well, it's a good thing she only had 2 then!

8:48 pm

rururocks

LOL.. yeah..

8:50 pm

rururocks

god..it's pouring here

8:51 pm

rururocks

I took a walk and got drenched

8:51 pm

Nef

Ahh, well; I think I've learned not to treat others the way I was treated

8:52 pm

Nef

do you need the rain there?

8:52 pm

wvteach

help with DI 6/21 (second, last one please

8:53 pm

rururocks

it's been kind of dry lately.. we've had nice clear weather.. so yes.. it is kind of needed

8:53 pm

MollyL

And that is a good thing Nef. It all comes down to how you choose to live your life. You chose well, grasshopper. : )

8:53 pm

rururocks

to say unkind things WV

8:53 pm

Nef

that's why I asked if wound heal, Molly. :-)

8:54 pm

rururocks

it's a plural WV

8:54 pm

Nef

sorry, wv; I don't have either (but I'm working on it now!)

8:54 pm

wvteach

thnx ruru

8:55 pm

MollyL

And that is what made me think of the lecture Nef. Whether or not wounds heal depends on how much you pick at them. Or whether you choose to live in them, or move beyond them.

8:55 pm

rururocks

yw

8:56 pm

rururocks

I'm ready to move beyond them again..

8:57 pm

Nef

:-)

9:03 pm

rururocks

time to make dinner.. nice chatting about something real for once

9:04 pm

Nef

bye for now, ruru. I still have 111 words left

9:04 pm

MollyL

Enjoy your dinner. And I agree, the something real chats are always the best.

9:06 pm

Nef

I do too. But then; I do like to chat!

9:09 pm

torgone

There goes Molly - forcing her opinions on everyone again ;^)

9:11 pm

Nef

hi tor! How are you tonight?

9:13 pm

torgone

Impish as ever ..

9:14 pm

MollyL

I know Tor, isn't it awful. The scathing emails will be flying.

9:14 pm

Jillyjill

Hello all, torgone,nef, ruru, wv...back to find some more

9:14 pm

Jillyjill

Hello all, torgone,nef, ruru, wv...back to find some more

9:14 pm

Jillyjill

Sheesh...trick trigger finger tonight.

9:16 pm

Nef

hi Jilly

9:16 pm

Jillyjill

Whew...thought I might be being shunned ;)

9:16 pm

Nef

And Happy Easter to you both, Tor and Jilly

9:18 pm

Jillyjill

Thank you nef, and happy easater to you and DH also!

9:19 pm

Nef

thanks

9:31 pm

Jillyjill

Lots of left and right turns in this grid...

9:31 pm

Nef

I swear there aren't any more words in this grid; but the word stats say I need to find 86 still!

9:32 pm

Nef

so I should try more right and left turns, Jilly?

9:32 pm

uusue2

hi nef!

9:32 pm

uusue2

and Jill!

9:33 pm

uusue2

I have 69 left and have more or less given up...

9:33 pm

Jillyjill

More left hand turns I think...that and remembering where there are same letters...

9:33 pm

Nef

hi sue! Happy Easter to you and Happy Birthday to your dad!

9:33 pm

Jillyjill

Hello again uusue! I enjoyed Franks tour of your new home!

9:34 pm

uusue2

thanks, Jill! It looks better than that already since we have a lot of the furniture unpacked and assembled

9:34 pm

uusue2

thanks, nef! I am amazed at how well he continues to do.

9:34 pm

Nef

after his tough year last year; that is amazing

9:35 pm

uusue2

yes, he's pretty much completely recovered. He's decided not to drive out to visit me, though; now he's talking about taking the train (!)

9:35 pm

Nef

that would be a better way for him to travel I'd think. :-)

9:35 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...I did think Frank was a typical guy...not thinking perhaps YOU would want him to wait until more moved into...but it really doesn't matter to those of us whom have moved frequently...

9:36 pm

uusue2

oh, I didn't mind, I just want to post an update some time soon :-)

9:37 pm

uusue2

and nef, I am also just as glad my dad decided not to drive out here; it's a little too ambitious for him now, I think

9:38 pm

Nef

did Frank post pictures on FB?

9:38 pm

uusue2

he posted a video tour of our new house, nef

9:40 pm

Nef

oh. :-( I can't see videos on my computer. I'll have to try something else

9:42 pm

Nef

I need to post a picture of my DH on my page. He made our dtr take a picture of him in his new t-shirt for his FB page.

9:42 pm

Jillyjill

I would enjoy 'meeting' him nef!

9:42 pm

uusue2

ah well, I told my dad I'd email him some photos of the house, so I'll put those on facebook as soon as I take them :-)

9:43 pm

Nef

His t-shirt has the Tardis and the Delauran from Back to the Future beginning to crash on it

9:43 pm

uusue2

he is very sweet, Jill, I have actually met him

9:43 pm

Nef

he is very sweet (most of the time!) ;-)

9:43 pm

Jillyjill

And I am sure he is thrilled with the return of Doctor Who?

9:44 pm

Nef

We've been Dr. Who fans for over 20 years I believe

9:45 pm

Nef

(our whole family are Dr. Who fans; our dtr. even dressed as the Tardis for Halloween)

9:47 pm

Jillyjill

My oldest is a fan-atic as well.. I never quite got into it. Certainly don't need another addiction at this point, but my son keeps me updated

9:48 pm

uusue2

I have fond memories of the Tom Baker era; the newer doctors don't quite have the same effect on me :-)

9:48 pm

Nef

There; I've posted it.

9:48 pm

Jillyjill

*heading to look*

9:50 pm

Jillyjill

Very handsome man with a nice smile!!

9:50 pm

uusue2

yep, pretty cute shirt :-)

9:50 pm

Minveryork

Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today?

9:51 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

9:51 pm

Jillyjill

Hello minv..Happy Easter to you !

9:51 pm

uusue2

hi min! I am ok, Frank is not doing so well but better now than earlier in the day

9:51 pm

Minveryork

Happy Easter everyone! Sorry to hear about Frank uusue2.

9:52 pm

MollyL

Happy Easter to you too Min. Did you do anything fun?

9:52 pm

Jillyjill

OH darn uusue...sorry to hear that; thought with the video he was fine...

9:52 pm

uusue2

I think he should be better by tomorrow, min, if not I am taking him to the doctor

9:53 pm

uusue2

ah, that was a few days ago, Jill. He's not in terrible shape, just having some annoying side effects from the chemo

9:54 pm

Jillyjill

Dang, remind me how far into this is he?

9:55 pm

uusue2

he started his eighth cycle last Wednesday; initial plan is 12 cycles, then another scan, then a break depending on how the scan looks

9:55 pm

Jillyjill

Good, on the almost done side...

9:57 pm

uusue2

yes, especially if the next scan looks clear

9:57 pm

Minveryork

MollyL, I went to Vermont for Easter. I went up Friday and came back today. Back to work tomorrow. Total bummer!

9:58 pm

MollyL

Oh too bad Min. Here the schools are closed Easter Monday because so many people travel for Easter.

9:59 pm

Nef

Sorry, I wandered over to FB for a few minutes and got distracted there.

Go minv!!

10:00 pm

Minveryork

I did! Thank you Nef. I wish it could've been longer though

10:01 pm

GO, Min! You can do it!

10:02 pm

Minveryork

I found out over my vacation that my school will be closing

10:02 pm

uusue2

yay Jill!

10:03 pm

Nef

Oh, No, Min!

10:03 pm

Minveryork

The school will be re-opening next year under a new name

10:03 pm

MollyL

Oh Jeeze Min, what does that mean for you job wise?

10:03 pm

Jillyjill

Oh no minv...oh...reread..phew!!

10:03 pm

Minveryork

50 percent of the staff can stay and 50 percent have to go.

10:03 pm

Minveryork

It means that I will probably have to goto another building

10:04 pm

Jillyjill

But you will have a job?

10:04 pm

uusue2

as long as you still have a job, min!

10:04 pm

Minveryork

I'll still have a job thank goodness.I just don't know where.

10:05 pm

Jillyjill

Could it mean a worse commute?

10:05 pm

Nef

Whew! That's good news.

10:06 pm

MollyL

I hope not. Her commute is long enough as it is.

10:06 pm

Nef

how far do you travel now, Min?

10:06 pm

Jillyjill

Well...my bedtime...niters all!

10:07 pm

MollyL

I'll hold good thoughts that this turns into something good for you Min.

10:07 pm

Nef

Niters, Jilly. I'm guessing that you work tomorrow? Have a good one then

10:07 pm

Minveryork

Commute will still be same since I'll still be in the same school district.However,I might be in a place where I do not have my own classroom, which I do have now. That is what I will miss the most, having my own classroom.

10:08 pm

uusue2

night, Jill!

10:08 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Jillyjill! I will see you tomorrow in the log maybe.

10:08 pm

uusue2

what do you teach, min?

10:09 pm

Minveryork

My work is 55 miles away from me so I travel a total of 110 miles a day. I'll still be doing the same commute next year.

10:09 pm

Minveryork

I teach ESL,so I take small groups of kids into my classroom

10:09 pm

Nef

OMG, Min! I couldn't do that!

10:10 pm

uusue2

wow, that is a long commute, min! Do you drive, or can you take public transportation?

10:10 pm

Minveryork

In the other schools, the ESL teacher either pushes into the classrooms and she has to carry everything with her or they share a room with 3 or 4 other ESL and reading teachers.

10:11 pm

Minveryork

I could take the train, but that is inconvenient for me. I do carpool sometimes, however, I have to drive 25 minutes to meet the person I carpool with, but it does help out some.

10:14 pm

Nef

I would be falling asleep at the wheel probably both ways, Min. I loved/love working; but it is so exhausting that I've had trouble driving 20 minutes home.

10:14 pm

Minveryork

Speaking of work, I need to go to bed since I have to be up early in morning. I am going to beg for clues for my last 7.

10:15 pm

Minveryork

Do not want to give up with just 7 left so the clue begging will start.
